Bio
Heirlooms, a six piece indie-folk band based in Hartford, CT, write and perform music self-described as "New Americana". With one foot firmly planted in the traditions of folk and rock music, the other occupies a space defined by experimental textures, swirling dynamics, and modern sensibilities. The result is a sound that is both hauntingly familiar and yet unique and somehow implacable. After the release of their first EP, a record hailed by the Hartford Courant as one of the best Connecticut based releases in 2010, the band embarked on a gigging campaign including bills split with legendary folk players Bert Jansch and Pegi Young; indie darlings Deer Tick, The High Dials and Linfinity; rising stars We Are the Willows, You Scream I Scream and Moon Taxi; and local favorites Echo and Drake and John Parson. In early 2010, Heirlooms returned to home studio seclusion, again electing self-production for their forthcoming full-length debut. The LP aims to combine the "beautifully orchestrated interludes, background electronics, and reverb-laden sparseness" (CT Indie) of the Heirlooms EP with the controlled intensity of their live performances. -

Sounds Like
Zipping up a winter coat, stepping on dead leaves, children playing in abandoned buildings, the hum of a hundred bees, hair being swept up off the kitchen floor, hanging up the phone, your father snoring, your sister crying, the last time we kissed.
